Push-Button Start/Advanced Keys

[nipper]

AWD would require a complete redesign of the car. This is what delayed making the car in the first place, the arguments of AWD vs RWD in toyota-subaru land.

The big question with these push to starts is how do you shut the car off in an emergency.

And you still need keys to unlock the steering column and get the car out of gear?

I think the bigger question is pushbutton WITHOUT stop/start. Why bother??

The same way you shut down a modern computer. Push and hold the button. I suppose one could always install a kill switch.

I love it. It's such a fun car to drive and it handles so well. Unfortunately it makes everything else I drive feel like a whale - including my svx. I don't see any chance of AWD coming to it and it really isn't the aim of the car. I would trade mine in on a turbo if/when it becomes available. The stock 200hp is more than enough to make it a quick car but it would be that much more thrilling with another 50hp.
